About the book "The choice of defeat"
What are the causes of the defeats of 1940? The great historian Marc Bloch wrote in April 1944: "The day will come [...] and maybe soon when it will be possible to shed light on the intrigues to us from 1933 to 1939 for the Rome-Berlin Axis to give him the domination of Europe by destroying our own hands the whole edifice of our alliances and our friendships. "Annie Lacroiz-Riz discusses the history of the 1930s to illuminate the causes of the defeat of 1940. She said the French were not just been defeated in five days by a Wehrmacht invincible the patronage has sacrificed his plan of "state reform" copied to the neighbors and its fascist obsession agreement with the Reich. This statement seems less bold incredible to read the archives, French and foreign, relating to a decade of the actions of elites: military, politicians, journalists, businessmen especially, who reigned over all others, headed by the Banque de France and the Comite des Forges. The autonomy of politicians and journalists is a myth, that of the military too. That is the France of the major economic and financial interests which dictated the choice of Germany as a partner in the 1920s and sabotaged the Russian alliance of setbacks that had avoided defeat in 1914. Today, access to archives illuminates the internal and external causes of defeat and allows "the trial of the suit the vast enterprise of treason "that demanded Marc Bloch.
